Just recently I had a family bar mitzvah to go to and it reminded me why I loved going to them every weekend in 7th and 8th grade. It was a fun time with your friends, and it was a way of bringing people together. Here are the top five reasons why they are the best.

1. The food

The food at Bar & Bat mitzvahs is unreal, and it's also free!!! In 7th grade, pigs in a blanket and mozzarella sticks were my favorite (and still are sadly).

2. The dancing

To be honest, I absolutely love dancing at bar & bat mitzvahs. Its so fun and it brings people together. I have lots of memories dancing with my friends to "Dynamite by Taio Cruz," and "DJ Got us Fallen in Love by Usher."

3. The photo booth

The photo booth may be my favorite part of the whole event tbh. A free professional picture with the red background and don't forget the leopard frame ( that will eventually be put in your basement) . I still have a huge pile of all of them in my room!!!

4. The dessert

The dessert is always unreal. Whether it's the typical chocolate fountain or a waffle station the dessert just tops off the night.

Being at my family friend's bar mitzvah made me very nostalgic and reminded me how fun it was to go to these during my middle school years!
